This page provides information on integrating the AEM instance with the cloud-based AEM Mobile On-Demand Services account and project(s), overall setting up the AEM Mobile.

In order to use AEM to produce content for AEM Mobile apps, you must integrate the AEM instance with the cloud-based AEM Mobile On-Demand Services account and project(s).

Follow these steps for setting up AEM Mobile and thus allowing the user to create and manage the content within AEM.

AEM Mobile Provisioning

To get started with AEM Mobile set up, you need to:

Request an API key: To access the On-Demand Services API, you need to request an API key. To request the API key, complete the PDF form. Send the completed form to Adobe Developer Support: wwds@adobe.com

Generate the Device ID and Device Token: Once you have received your API key, you can generate the device id and device token. Go to https://aex.aemmobile.adobe.com and do the following:

Provide the API Key

Login with an Adobe ID that you have added to an AEM Mobile project with following permissions (see below steps to create project)

Creating Projects for AEM Mobile

When you create a project, you specify settings for any platform you're targeting: iOS, Android, Windows, and Desktop Web Viewer. Many of the project settings you specify affect the behavior of the app.

Creating a project requires signing in to the On-Demand Services portal using an Adobe ID that has a Master Admin role. Editing a project requires either a Master Admin role or a user role with a Manage Projects and Users permission.

Adding AEM Mobile User Roles and Assigning Permissions

After creating a project you should create roles and grant access to users. Only Master Admins can create and edit roles. When you create a role, you enable capabilities (or permissions) for whichever users are assigned those permissions. For example, you can create one role that includes permissions for app building and another role that includes permissions for creating and publishing content.

In AEM Mobile app development, three different roles exist:

Administrator

Developer

Author

For more information on creating roles with different permissions such as for app building or for creating and publishing content, click Creating User Roles and Granting Access in AEM Mobile Help.

Uwaga:

Managing app content requires a collective effort from developers, content authors and administrators. Authors manipulate pages, which are in turn based on templates and components generated by app developers. Finally, administrators strategically publish the updated app content. Setting up AEM Groups and Permissions defines their roles in the app Dashboard or Control Center.

Once you are done creating roles with different permissions such as for app building or for creating and publishing content, see Configure your User and User Groups to configure your users and groups to support the authoring and mangement of your mobile apps.

Getting Ahead
